Don't worry too much about it riemann, anyone who disagrees with DF is categoried as a big media shill. I wouldn't take it personally.

Seems ironic to me to that on the one hand many argue digital media is different to physical property and should be treated differently when it comes to creators rights and copyright infringement but then they argue it should be treated the same when it comes to their right of resale.
An interesting duality I think.
